Novel Z-scheme Ag-C3N4/SnS2 plasmonic heterojunction photocatalyst for degradation of tetracycline and H2 production

Edge- and bridge-engineering-mediated exciton dissociation and charge separation in carbon nitride to boost photocatalytic H2 evolution integrated with selective amine oxidation

“…2b shows the N 1s spectra of EBCN-2 with peaks at 398.6, 399.9, and 401.1 eV, which are related to C–NC, N–(C) 3 , and C–NH bonds, respectively. 44 Besides, some peaks moved to a higher position compared to those in C 3 N 4 , implying that the embedded units changed the electronic distribution of the heptazine frame. As revealed in Fig.…”

Recent development in solar‐driven photocatalytic hydrogen production utilizing g‐C 3 N 4

“…In recent years, especially LSPR has been utilized to improve the water splitting efficiency of many photocatalytic systems. For instance, Dai et al presented a Z‐scheme Ag‐C 3 N 4 /SnS 2 plasmonic heterojunction for H 2 production and degradation of tetracycline, an antibiotic 76 . The heterojunction consists of a g‐C 3 N 4 nanosheet on which Ag nanoparticles were deposited.…”

Facile synthesis of MOF-808/AgI Z-scheme heterojunction with improved photocatalytic performance for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under simulated sunlight

“…Tetracycline hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has been extensively used to treat diseases such as chlamydial infections, brucellosis, malignancies, and mycoplasma pneumonia. 1–3 However, the overuse of TC led to environmental pollution. 4 Owing to the antibacterial properties and chemical stability of TC, it is massively distributed in water environments and difficult to degrade naturally.…”
